30% Goes to pay all coordinators for their work with volunteers and organizations.

Why donate to volunteer?

Voluntario Global is a non-profit organization (NGO) registered in Buenos Aires, Argentina under number 0000 515. We do not receive financial assistance from the Government, nor corporations. Therefore, our funds come directly from the volunteers who register in our programs. Donations are spent according to community needs under the strict supervision of our local coordinators.

Where does your money go?

Thanks to the volunteer's donations, we have been able to begin operating a Social Savings Fund. This has allowed to finance computers, books, and many necessary supplies to go on and grow our Network. In addition, we have also financed a home construction loan for a family that lives in Villa Soldati, the construction of a kindergarten in Barracas, in 2010, the opening of the Laundry Project in 2008, and the Pacheco Community Project, in 2014.

Are there any options to help volunteers fund their program?

Yes, we have partnered with Fund My Travel so all volunteers can create a campaign and get funds to volunteer with us in Argentina.
